The Attuned Dog

You love your dog. The walks are still a battle, the barking still happens, and the advice you’ve tried worked for a day and then stopped.

The Attuned Dog takes a different route. Canine behaviourist Darran Rowe draws on twenty years of work with anxious, reactive and misunderstood dogs to show you what your dog has been communicating all along, in the set of their ears, the tension in their mouth, the quality of their stillness. You’ll learn the practical skills, recall, loose-lead walking, impulse control, alongside the thing that makes them stick: a relationship where your dog chooses you.

No fear. No punishment. No domination. Just two beings finally understanding each other.

George the Groodle - Stories told by a dog.

George is a Groodle. He is soft of paw, wise of whisker, and guardian of the tea towel — and he narrates every book himself, because nobody has ever asked the dog how any of this feels.

The series follows one family across ten years, from the day a baby comes home to the day that child is old enough to speak up on George's behalf. Along the way it teaches children and grown-ups how to read a dog: what a turned head means, why a sleeping dog needs to be left alone, and why the best thing you can give a dog is the freedom to walk away.

Written by qualified teacher and accredited canine behaviourist Darran Rowe, these are warm, funny, quietly practical books about the bond between dogs and children — and about keeping both of them safe.

George the Groodle and the Tiny Human

A mindful tale of change, connection, and a bit of baby dribble

Everything changes when the Tiny Human arrives. New smells, new noise, new rules. George learns that making room for someone doesn’t mean losing his place — and that a baby can be taught to be gentle long before she can be taught to talk.

The Tiny Human isn’t so tiny anymore. Over ten years she goes from a toddler who grabs to a girl who asks first — and George, who spent a decade teaching her to listen, finds out what happens when she finally speaks.
